Senior student director Mia Morneault says how much she’s enjoyed working with the cast and crew. “I am very proud of all the cast and crew who worked as hard on it as I have. A lot of people care about [this show],” Morneault said. “I have a lot of friends on the cast and on the crew, but I’ve also grown and gained friendships through the show, even as director where I may be a little more stricter than normal. And I am very grateful for everyone I’ve gotten to work with.”](https://cphswolfpack.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/05/DSC_0657-1200x800.jpg)

Kato’s painting is a political piece inspired by a photo of elementary schoolers in the street protesting against ICE. “I think it's also symbolic because they're surrounded by snow, which can represent ICE, and they are still marching,” Kato said. “[The kids] are not stopping until equality or justice is served, which I think is really important to represent and show.” Photo by John Pinion](https://cphswolfpack.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/04/Screenshot-2026-03-26-114740.png)

Yearbook won 43, newspaper won 14 and broadcast took home nine. “I think [the ILPC awards] are a great way to give the kids some acknowledgement for all of their hard work,” newspaper and yearbook adviser Paige Hert said. “They typically spend the year covering everyone else’s big moments, so it’s really cool for them to be celebrated so many times and in so many different ways.”](https://cphswolfpack.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/edited-ILPC.jpg)

The varsity baseball team played in the bi-district round of playoffs against the Boerne Greyhounds April 30-May 2, where they won Game 1 6-4, lost Game 2 2-1 and won the last game 5-2, allowing them to advance to area. “Honestly, [my favorite] big moment that wasn't even part of my moment was Dom's grand slam,” Cuevas said. “That was a big game changer in Game 1 of round one that ultimately helped us win that game and even move on. It set the tone for the games after and has really impacted and sparked this whole playoff run.” Photo by Allie Tseng](https://cphswolfpack.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/05/allie-boerne00159-1200x800.jpg)

Hill rushed for three touchdowns in the 43-36 loss against Frisco Wakeland last Friday, but the Timberwolves were eliminated from playoff contention. “[I’m] just happy I got to experience the game with my brothers,” Hill said. “I’m going to remember how close and how enjoyable everything was with these guys. They are my brothers for life. Just waking up and grinding together, and proving the naysayers wrong [was my favorite part].”

Rho Kappa Comes to the Voting Rescue
Honor Society Holds Annual Voter Registration Drive
![Attending the Voter Registration Drive, senior Mathew Minor is now able to vote. This year, Rho Kappa was able to register over 30 eligible students. “I think everyone who can should register to vote,” Minor said. “It’s a right that people have fought and died [for] in order to earn and as a U.S. citizen, it is your duty to vote.”](https://cphswolfpack.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/10/MINOR-900x600.png)

Voting is a right that American citizens 18 years or older can take part in as a way of having their voice heard. In celebration of this right and National Voter Registration Day, Rho Kappa held its annual voter registration drive on Sept. 24 in hopes of encourage seniors of age to vote.
During a time of political turmoil and changing policies, young voters have a lot to decide on and it’s important that they have their voices heard, according to senior Mathew Minor.
“I feel great being able to vote knowing that I have a say in how my country is run,” Minor said. “I believe that I have a voice now to say how I believe the country should be run and by whom.”
In 2019, voters can vote on local bonds and state constitution amendments, but they will also be able to vote in next year’s presidential election, along with congressional elections.
“I think everyone who can should register to vote,” Minor said. “It’s a right that people have fought and died [for] in order to earn and as a U.S. citizen, it is your duty to vote.”
For new voters like Minor, voting is one of the many ways to be involved in politics and a way to be an active citizen in the United States.
“I definitely plan on voting this year and exercising this wonderful right this country has given me,” Minor said.
Since the increased activity from voters aged 18-29 in the 2018 midterm elections, 36% of eligible voters participated, with a 16% increase from 2014, according to the Washington Post. Continuing this trend is key to having the younger population’s opinions heard, senior Rho Kappa vice president Layla Ismail said.
“I think that it’s important to remind people to register to vote because no matter what they choose to do at least they have the option of voting,” Ismail said.
With over 30 students registering at this year’s drive, Ismail encourages more students to register.
“To someone who’s unsure about registering — I would do it just because it doesn’t take that long and you don’t want to run out of time and miss out on voting in a bigger election,” Ismail said
Even though the deadline to register to vote in the Nov. 5, the election ends on Oct. 7, Rho Kappa still has forms for those who wish to register. For more information, visit the CPHS Rho Kappa website or contact Rho Kappa Sponsor Jennifer Fortenberry.
